GLOVE-FASTENING.

. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent NO. 447,369, dated March 3, 1891. Application filed .Tannary 25, 1889. Serial No. 297,543. (No model.)

To all whom it) mag concern:

Be it known that I, MAD'IsoND. SHIPMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing atDe' Kalb, in the county ofv De Kalb and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and use I ful Improvements in Studs of Separable Buttons, of which the following is a specification.

- The object of 'my invention is the production of a light shell-form stud which has a bulbous-shaped head and a clinching eyelet" portion integral withthe head, and a base or upper-side washer which is securely fastened between said head and the clinching eyeletportion of the stud, which can. be cheaply produced, conveniently. handled orshipped without the liability. of the two parts becoming separated, and which can be readily and securely attached to the fabric; and it con sists in the peculiar construction, arrangement, and combination of.'partshereinafter described-and then definitely claimed.

In the accompanying'drawings, Figures 1, 2,

and 3 are central Vertical sections of buttons constructed according to "m y improvement; Fig.4, a similar section of the head and stem part before. being united with the washer; Fig. 5, a plan of a washer; Fig. 6, a vertical central section of the'same; Fig. 7, a similar section of the washer and stem securely united. ready to apply to the fabric; Fig. 8, a plan of an eyelet-clinching piece; Fig. 9, a central vertical section of the same; Fig. 10, a similar section of a washer to be employed with tion of a modified form of the stem;

Referring now" to the details of the draw ings' by letter, A represents the stem or stud,

. said clinching-piece; Fig. 11, a vertical sechaving preferably a' bulbous head a and a' fastening-eyelet a formed integral, and with ashoulder a at the. junction ofthe head and eyelet, as clearly shown in Fig. ,4, which shoulder need notbe large. In fact, it maysimply be formed by the gradual increase of the neck to form the head. On this stem 1- secure a washer B (see Figs. 5 and 6) by pushing the eyelet or neck of the head through the same and then slightly spreading the eyelet or'ne ck I part'by any appropriate tool, whereby'a secend shoulder a is formed and the washer is securelyfastened'on the stem, as shown in Fig. 7. The stud thus formed, comprising the stem and washer securelyfastened together on which they are employed the eyelet or neck a is first pushed through the cloth and then (preferably) a washer, such as E, is placed over the lower part of the eyelet, and

the edgeof the latter is then forced outward,

and clinched around and over the edge of the hole in the washer,- as shown in-Fig. 1.

Another way'of securing my stud to the" fabric is shown in 'Fig. 2, in which a washer C, of the shape shown in section in Fig. 10, is secured within an eyelet-clinching piece I) (see Figs. 2and 8) by having its marginal flange d clinched all around the margin 0 of Infastening these the washer C, and then entering the eyelet inthe opening of the washer and forcing the central projection cl of the clinching-piece against the edge of said eyelet by any appropriate means, when. the said edge will be turned outward b'etween the washer and the.

clinching-piece, as'shown in Fig. 2. If preferred,'the stem may have an opening at the top, as shown in Fig. 11, or it may be slotted, as indicated in dotted lines in the same figure. I sometimes make the stem longer than is shown in Figs. land 2, in which case I make an engaging-groove above the washer-holding shoulder, as shown in Fig.- 3, to receive the button-catch of acoacting button-head. Thus difierent forms of studs may be used without departing from the main feature of my inventiona-towit, the stem- A havingawasher securely fastened on its neck and adapted to have the lower part of said neck passed through the fabric and'clinched. A stud. comprising a stem and a washer securely fastened together, instead of being separate or insecurely fastened together, has various advantages, among which may be stated the fastened on the, stem, only one article has to be picked up by theoperator in attaching the stud tothe fabric; second, the stud is always set perfectly upright in thefabric instead of being sidewise, as frequently occurs when setting studs witli theloose Washer; third, the accidental displacement of the washer from following: First, the washer being securely off the stem when handling or shipping is prevented; fourth, a light weight shell-form head and attaching-eyelet integral, making a neat, compact, and secure attachment.

lVhat I claim as new 15-- 4 1. As an article of manufacture, a stud A, composed of the head a, the clinching-tube a, the shoulders a a, and the perforated washer B, seated in the annular depression between the shoulders a and a", the clinching-tnbe a extending below said washer, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination of the hollow stem A, having an eyelet a, and a washer B, with a second washer C and a clinching-piece D, attached to saidsecond washer and having a projection d toclinch the eyelet, substantially as described.
